The youth population was projected to increase by over 78 million from 2021 to 2030, with low-income countries contributing to nearly half of this growth. It is essential for education and training systems to adapt to this challenge. High-quality apprenticeships, carefully planned internships, and volunteering programs can serve as valuable entry points into the job market for first-time jobseekers and recent graduates. Jean Mary Tjiohimba, who is from the Khwe community of South Africa talks to us about the successes and struggles of the Youth in her community. With over 40 percent of the world's population under the age of 25, there are currently about 1.2 billion young people in the world. Youth are a global asset, and investing in youth and safeguarding their interests is critical for both social and economic stability. Jean Mary tells about about some of the challenges faced by the youth in her community.
